About Us

Qualified & Professional

Our Belfast Physiotherapists

Our physiotherapists are highly skilled and trained in a comprehensive range of treatment techniques to help you overcome your pain.

You will benefit from a complete assessment of the injury or problem which is designed to firstly understand the cause, and then to create a programme of corrective treatment and preventative measures.

As a patient, whether you need a few sessions or an extensive rehabilitation programme, our highly qualified therapists will tailor a course of treatment specifically for you. This will consist of a combination of hands-on treatment and 1:1 exercise rehabilitation. We will teach you the exercise programmes and pain prevention techniques which are designed to allow you to take control of your condition, speed up your recovery, and most importantly, prevent any reoccurrence.

Our physiotherapists specialise in back pain and neck pain, headaches, joint pain, sports injuries such as muscle pulls and tears, as well as post-operative rehabilitation. Our therapists provide the very best in diagnosis and treatment, using a multi-disciplinary approach that includes Chartered Physiotherapists, Sports Massage therapists, Podiatrists and Pilate’s instructors.

SITTING: THE BANE OF BACK HEALTH!
Esther and I are saying similar things here: what we humans must avoid is both slumped sitting, where the whole spine collapses into a C-bend, the head carry forward in front of the line of gravity, and rigid upright sitting (which people with a bad back feel duty bound to do). To sit well (with a bad back) it's ideal to have a protuberance (say a small pillow) into the small of your back at waist level that supports you from behind and keeps your spine in a relaxed S-bend. It's important that you sit in this way without effort. Without effort repeat! The rest of your spine then stacks effortlessly above your pelvis with equal amounts of weight borne before and behind the line of gravity. (I prefer a S-bend to J-bend because it helps balance and support very heavy head.) It may sound strange, but most seating requires a pillow in the small of the back to be comfortable.

COMPETITION TIME
It's been one year since our last big Facebook competition which was a huge success (One of the winners is now a qualified PT). With it being the start of May and the lovely Summer weather being upon us we've decided to give an even bigger prize than last year.
This time we are giving 2 lucky winners the chance of 6 free weeks training at The Collective. At the start and end of this time we will also arrange a free bod pod bodyfat test at Aspire Fitness Labs. This will NOT be a transformation in the typical sense but more a demonstration of how much you can achieve in a relatively short time. At the end you will know much more about how exercise, especially strength training, can affect your body and you will have many more tools to help you with your fitness goals.
To be in with a chance of winning 3 training sessions a week for 2 people over the full 6 weeks just do the following 2 things.
